Im guessin the only way to fit that inlet is to move your radiator up?

Sorry I don't think we snapped any before installing it into the tank. If you check out Lonnie's Performance they look just like the ones he has on his web site.

Well actually its moved toward the front of the car 2.5" - 3" and still has the angle like the factory radiator. Standing the radiator straing up doesn't really gain you any space at the bottom where the inlet is the issue. I cut out the whole lower bracket and moved it forward enough that a 4" bend would make it on the blower inlet. Once all the parts are back from the powder coater we will try to get some better pictures showing the inlet as I know this is a major problem with these cars..

I love the piping! I have a 7.25 crank and a 3.85 blower and my F1 is making 16ish psi. You should be in that neighborhood somewhere. Looking good man!

Awesome build thread bud! I have a forged ls2 402 11.2.1 comp, looking to put an F1C or F1R on the car, run the meth kit, race fuel c16 etc etc. I am anticipating 1,000+rwhp in a full weight car. It's been 9.82 with a d1sc already similar setup. Anyhow,Looking forward to seeing your numbers, I might take it a notch back to the F1A. Best of luck with the build and results!

They said it would give it better use of the whole core vs. just the lower half being the most effective. Something like that its been a few months since we chatted about doing that.

He has a 2 pod pillar with fuel and boost/vac gauge. For a wide band we installed a AFX wide band in the small pocket in the center console under the hvac contols.

Congrats Rob! You guys have put in a lot of hard work and the car is simply awesome!

Mine is done and I dropped it off at IPS today to get tuned. I hope it was all worth it and I did my homework right on parts selection. I guess I will find out soon! If nothing else I learned a lot putting the cam/fuel/procharger set up on over the last couple of weeks.

Your mail is dumb. It was shipped no sig so that they would leave it for ya.
